– Fun, fame, flower power and far-reaching social changes in the 1960s

– The 1970s, often described as the creative high-point of American cinema, with new approaches, elaborate themes and loosening restrictions on language, adult themes and violence depicted in film

– Consider the different movements in the 50s, 60s and 70s in Europe (Neorealism, New Wave in France, Italy, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, etc.), Russia and Asia.

The history topics (1 to 5) depend highly on the level of your general knowledge and common sense. It’s up to you to make all the necessary historical, cultural and social connections (globally and locally). Being able to converse about it in English is then easy-peasy. Remember to chose your personal representatives of these decades – one each – and talk about them in English
